I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Oct 2012
Interview
The recruiter contacted me months ago. But I was in an internship at that time. So I postponed it initially. In the beginning, it was a phone interview from the recruiter about basic questions regarding my past experience, my desire rate and so on. The first technical interview followed up in a week. It's about hash and B tree. I was required to answer the questions via an online webpage, which was so beyond my imagination, so I didn't do it well. That's the end of it.

Question 1
All technical questions are required to answer online. But the questions are pretty easy.
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
